🔧 RECOMANDĂRI PRACTICE - Fix-uri de Securitate & Performanță

Data: 23 Februarie 2026
Pentru: Underchat IRCD v1.7.5
Prioritate: URGENT → MID-TERM


🚨 URGENT: Fix-uri de Securitate (Săptămâna 1-2)

1. Eliminare Unsafe String Operations

1.1 Replace strcpy() cu ircd_strncpy()

Locații afectate: 6 instanțe

ÎNAINTE (ircd/s_user.c:744):

strcpy(cli_name(new_client), nick);

DUPĂ:

ircd_strncpy(cli_name(new_client), nick, NICKLEN);

Patch complet:

// ircd/s_user.c - Linia ~744
// REMOVE:
// strcpy(cli_name(new_client), nick);

// ADD:
ircd_strncpy(cli_name(new_client), nick, NICKLEN);

// ircd/s_user.c - Linia ~859
// REMOVE:
// strcpy(cli_name(sptr), nick);

// ADD:
ircd_strncpy(cli_name(sptr), nick, NICKLEN);

// ircd/s_user.c - Linia ~867
// REMOVE:
// strcpy(cli_name(sptr), nick);

// ADD:
ircd_strncpy(cli_name(sptr), nick, NICKLEN);

// ircd/uping.c - Linia ~422
// REMOVE:
// strcpy(pptr->name, aconf->name);

// ADD:
ircd_strncpy(pptr->name, aconf->name, sizeof(pptr->name));

// ircd/numnicks.c - Linia ~333
// REMOVE:
// strcpy(cli_yxx(acptr), yxx + 2);

// ADD:
ircd_strncpy(cli_yxx(acptr), yxx + 2, sizeof(cli_yxx(acptr)));

1.2 Replace sprintf() cu ircd_snprintf()

Locații afectate: 2 instanțe

ÎNAINTE (ircd/uping.c:290):

sprintf(buf, " %10lu%c%6lu", (unsigned long)tv.tv_sec, '\0', 
        (unsigned long)tv.tv_usec);

DUPĂ:

ircd_snprintf(0, buf, sizeof(buf), " %10lu%c%6lu", 
              (unsigned long)tv.tv_sec, '\0', 
              (unsigned long)tv.tv_usec);

Patch complet:

// ircd/uping.c - Linia ~290
// REMOVE:
// sprintf(buf, " %10lu%c%6lu", (unsigned long)tv.tv_sec, '\0', 
//         (unsigned long)tv.tv_usec);

// ADD:
ircd_snprintf(0, buf, sizeof(buf), " %10lu%c%6lu", 
              (unsigned long)tv.tv_sec, '\0', 
              (unsigned long)tv.tv_usec);

// ircd/uping.c - Linia ~360
// REMOVE:
// sprintf(s, " %u", pingtime);

// ADD:
ircd_snprintf(0, s, sizeof(s), " %u", pingtime);

1.3 Securizare strcat() în m_whois.c

Locații afectate: 4 instanțe

ÎNAINTE (ircd/m_whois.c:148-149):

strcat(markbufp, ", ");
strcat(markbufp, dp->value.cp);

DUPĂ:

// Verificare dimensiune buffer
size_t remaining = sizeof(markbuf) - strlen(markbufp) - 1;
if (remaining > 2) {
  strncat(markbufp, ", ", remaining);
  remaining = sizeof(markbuf) - strlen(markbufp) - 1;
  if (remaining > 0)
    strncat(markbufp, dp->value.cp, remaining);
}

Patch complet:

// ircd/m_whois.c - Liniile ~145-155
// CONTEXT: Marcarea operatorilor în WHOIS

// REMOVE block:
/*
    if (*markbufp)
      strcat(markbufp, ", ");
    strcat(markbufp, dp->value.cp);
*/

// ADD:
    if (*markbufp) {
      size_t remaining = sizeof(markbuf) - strlen(markbufp) - 1;
      if (remaining > 2) {
        strncat(markbufp, ", ", remaining);
      }
    }
    size_t remaining = sizeof(markbuf) - strlen(markbufp) - 1;
    if (remaining > 0) {
      strncat(markbufp, dp->value.cp, remaining);
    }

// Similar pentru linia ~223:
// REMOVE:
// strcpy(buf + len, chptr->chname);

// ADD:
size_t buf_remaining = sizeof(buf) - len - 1;
if (buf_remaining > strlen(chptr->chname)) {
  strcpy(buf + len, chptr->chname);
  len += strlen(chptr->chname);
}

2. SendQ Hard Limits

Fișier nou: include/ircd_limits.h

/*
 * ircd_limits.h - Hard limits pentru protecție DoS
 */
#ifndef INCLUDED_ircd_limits_h
#define INCLUDED_ircd_limits_h

/* SendQ Limits */
#define MAX_SENDQ_USER    (64 * 1024)    /* 64 KB pentru useri */
#define MAX_SENDQ_OPER    (128 * 1024)   /* 128 KB pentru operatori */
#define MAX_SENDQ_SERVER  (512 * 1024)   /* 512 KB pentru servere */

/* RecvQ Limits */
#define MAX_RECVQ_USER    (8 * 1024)     /* 8 KB pentru useri */
#define MAX_RECVQ_SERVER  (64 * 1024)    /* 64 KB pentru servere */

/* Connection Limits */
#define MAX_BUFFER_AGE    30             /* 30 secunde pentru mesaje incomplete */

#endif /* INCLUDED_ircd_limits_h */

Modificare: ircd/send.c

// Include header nou
#include "ircd_limits.h"

// Modifică funcția msgq_add()
void msgq_add(struct MsgQ *mq, struct MsgBuf *mb, int prio) {
  // VERIFICARE LIMITĂ ÎNAINTE DE ADĂUGARE
  unsigned int current_size = MsgQLength(mq);
  unsigned int new_size = current_size + msgq_bufleft(mb);
  
  // Determină limita bazată pe tipul clientului
  struct Client *cptr = /* get client from context */;
  unsigned int max_sendq;
  
  if (IsServer(cptr))
    max_sendq = MAX_SENDQ_SERVER;
  else if (IsOper(cptr))
    max_sendq = MAX_SENDQ_OPER;
  else
    max_sendq = MAX_SENDQ_USER;
  
  // VERIFICARE
  if (new_size > max_sendq) {
    // ❌ DEPĂȘIRE LIMITĂ
    dead_link(cptr, "SendQ exceeded");
    msgq_clean(mb);
    return;
  }
  
  // ✅ OK, adaugă mesajul
  // ... cod original ...
}

Modificare: ircd/s_bsd.c

#include "ircd_limits.h"

// În funcția read_packet(), după dbuf_put():
int read_packet(struct Client* cptr, int ready_to_read) {
  // ... cod existent recv() ...
  
  // VERIFICARE RecvQ Limit
  unsigned int recvq_size = DBufLength(&cli_recvQ(cptr));
  unsigned int max_recvq = IsServer(cptr) ? MAX_RECVQ_SERVER : MAX_RECVQ_USER;
  
  if (recvq_size > max_recvq) {
    // ❌ RecvQ prea mare
    return exit_client_msg(cptr, cptr, &me, 
                           "RecvQ exceeded (%u > %u)", 
                           recvq_size, max_recvq);
  }
  
  // ... rest cod ...
}

3. Incomplete Message Timeout

Modificare: ircd/s_bsd.c

#include "ircd_limits.h"

// Adaugă în read_packet() după procesarea mesajelor:
int read_packet(struct Client* cptr, int ready_to_read) {
  // ... cod existent ...
  
  // VERIFICARE FLAG_NONL (mesaj incomplet)
  if (HasFlag(cptr, FLAG_NONL)) {
    time_t age = CurrentTime - cli_lasttime(cptr);
    
    if (age > MAX_BUFFER_AGE) {
      // ❌ TIMEOUT: Mesaj incomplet de prea mult timp
      Debug((DEBUG_ERROR, "Incomplete message timeout for %s (age: %ld sec)",
             cli_name(cptr), (long)age));
      
      return exit_client_msg(cptr, cptr, &me,
                             "Incomplete message timeout (%ld seconds)",
                             (long)age);
    }
  }
  
  return 1;
}

Modificare: include/client.h

// Adaugă macro pentru tracking timp
#define cli_lasttime(cptr)  ((cptr)->cli_user ? (cptr)->cli_user->last : (cptr)->cli_firsttime)

// Asigură-te că cli_firsttime e inițializat la conectare
// În s_bsd.c, funcția add_connection():
cli_firsttime(new_client) = CurrentTime;

⚙️ SHORT-TERM: Îmbunătățiri Performanță (Luna 1-2)

4. Message Coalescing pentru Broadcast

Problema: Fiecare broadcast face N apeluri send() separate.

Soluție: Buffer mesajele identice și trimite batch.

Fișier nou: ircd/send_batch.c

/*
 * send_batch.c - Batch sending optimization
 */
#include "config.h"
#include "send_batch.h"
#include "client.h"
#include "send.h"

#define BATCH_INTERVAL_MS 10   /* 10ms batch window */
#define MAX_BATCH_SIZE    100  /* Max clients per batch */

struct BatchBuffer {
  struct Client *clients[MAX_BATCH_SIZE];
  unsigned int count;
  struct MsgBuf *mb;
  time_t scheduled;
};

static struct BatchBuffer batches[HASH_SIZE];

void batch_add(struct Client *to, struct MsgBuf *mb) {
  unsigned int hash = /* calculate hash from mb */;
  struct BatchBuffer *batch = &batches[hash];
  
  if (batch->count == 0) {
    // Nou batch
    batch->mb = mb;
    batch->scheduled = CurrentTime;
    msgq_addref(mb);  // Increment reference count
  }
  
  batch->clients[batch->count++] = to;
  
  // Flush dacă e plin
  if (batch->count >= MAX_BATCH_SIZE)
    batch_flush(batch);
}

void batch_flush(struct BatchBuffer *batch) {
  if (batch->count == 0)
    return;
  
  // Adaugă mesajul la fiecare client
  for (unsigned int i = 0; i < batch->count; i++) {
    msgq_add(&cli_sendQ(batch->clients[i]), batch->mb, 0);
    update_write(batch->clients[i]);
  }
  
  // Cleanup
  msgq_clean(batch->mb);
  batch->count = 0;
  batch->mb = NULL;
}

// Apelat din event loop la fiecare iterație
void batch_process(void) {
  time_t now = CurrentTime;
  
  for (int i = 0; i < HASH_SIZE; i++) {
    struct BatchBuffer *batch = &batches[i];
    
    if (batch->count > 0 && 
        (now - batch->scheduled) >= BATCH_INTERVAL_MS) {
      batch_flush(batch);
    }
  }
}

Integrare în: ircd/send.c

// În sendcmdto_channel_butone():

// ÎNAINTE:
for (member = chptr->members; member; member = member->next_member) {
  msgq_add(&cli_sendQ(dest), mb, 0);
  update_write(dest);
}

// DUPĂ:
#ifdef USE_BATCH_SEND
for (member = chptr->members; member; member = member->next_member) {
  batch_add(dest, mb);  // ✅ Batched
}
#else
// ... cod original ...
#endif

5. Connection Pool pentru Outbound

Problema: Fiecare connect_server() creează socket nou.

Soluție: Refolosește socket-uri închise recent.

Modificare: ircd/s_bsd.c

#define CONN_POOL_SIZE 10

static int connection_pool[CONN_POOL_SIZE];
static int pool_count = 0;

// Adaugă socket la pool în loc să-l închizi
void connection_pool_add(int fd) {
  if (pool_count < CONN_POOL_SIZE) {
    connection_pool[pool_count++] = fd;
  } else {
    close(fd);  // Pool plin, închide
  }
}

// Obține socket din pool sau creează nou
int connection_pool_get(void) {
  if (pool_count > 0) {
    return connection_pool[--pool_count];  // ✅ Reuse
  }
  
  // Pool gol, creează socket nou
  return socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
}

// Modifică close_connection():
void close_connection(struct Client *cptr) {
  if (cli_fd(cptr) >= 0) {
    connection_pool_add(cli_fd(cptr));  // ✅ Add to pool
    cli_fd(cptr) = -1;
  }
}
